RESIDENT & COMMUNITY SUCCESS

Addis Cafe

Addis Café

Designed with community in mind, the Addis Café reopened its doors in new commercial space developed by TCB. Co-owner Kalkidan Tesfaye’s hopes of adding authentic Ethiopian dinner fare to the menu became reality thanks to the site’s full commercial-grade kitchen. The larger space creates a plethora of opportunity to serve Ethiopian comfort food orders to the community she loves.

Pandemic isolation affected communities of color especially hard. The Community Builders worked with Chicago’s Rush University and Illinois Institute of Technology to figure out how TCB investments could best support these communities during this very difficult time.
